    Installation in a local directory

    Hi y'all,

    I'm trying to perform a local install of python at work in my user
    directory. Everything compiles correctly, but I can't seem to tell the
    configure script the location of the bin and lib directories where I
    want my stuff. I've think I've passed the correct flags to the
    'configure' script.

    make clean
    ../configure --enable-shared --prefix=/user/mcdaniel/arch32
    make

    where arch32 contains the the lib and bin directories where I want my
    python stuff to go. Unfortunately these directories are not written
    to; everything ends up in the default location from where I ran 'make'.
    Moreover, if I add a symbolic link from the python binary (which I can
    run directly without problems) to the bin directory so that my PATH
    will recognize the new python, I get an error about loading shared
    libraries.

    I'm making on a 32 bit new debian system.

    Thank you for your help,

    Sean McDaniel

      Did you run "make install" yet? It's that step that moves the binaries
      to where they should live. As it says in

      http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.5/


      """Change to the Python-2.5 directory and run the "./configure", "make",
      "make install" commands to compile and install Python."""

      regards

          Damnit,

          That was exactly the problem. Thank you.
